Despite a superb first part of the season, Ronaldinho has dropped down the pecking order at Milan in recent months and it is suggested that his Italian adventure could come to an end this summer.

The 29-year-old has been under the spotlight due to his physical condition since joining the Rossoneri last July but fitness trainer Daniele Tognaccini is adamant that the ex-Barcelona star’s problems lie elsewhere.

“He is physically fitter than he was when he used to score goals and provide assists on the playing field,” Tognaccini told Sky Sport24.

“Perhaps he is yet to find the balance that the other players have achieved. He moved here from a different style of football and this can obviously influence his performances.

“It is difficult to explain it. So many factors can affect the performances of a footballer. But his fitness condition has considerably improved, so that’s not what is holding him back.”

‘Dinho’ has made just 16 starting appearances in Serie A this season, netting 8 goals.
